New research indicates that current sea-level rise predictions may be too low due to previously unconsidered Earth physics. The study suggests that gravitational and crustal deformation effects from ocean mass redistribution could lead to greater sea-level increases along coastlines, especially in tropical and Arctic regions. This finding highlights a potential underestimation of future climate impacts.
